Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

"roar--!"

The Siberian tiger named "Big Fatty" let out a deafening roar, and its azure spiritual energy instantly exploded, causing countless spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the surrounding cement ground.

With a powerful kick of its millstone-sized tiger claws, its massive body, like a toppled yellow mountain, hurtled straight at Lu Jingyan's face with a suffocating, foul stench.

"Mortal, I will tear your arrogant face to shreds right now!"

The fat man's blood-red vertical pupils were filled with ferocity, and his fangs gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight.

"Remember this, I'm a Class I protected animal! Even if I kill you, nobody dares to do anything to me! That's called legal immunity!"

This tiger has clearly been spoiled in the zoo and really treats the Wildlife Protection Law as its get-out-of-jail-free card.

Faced with this terrifying attack that would terrify any ordinary person, Lu Jingyan didn't even flinch.

In his deep black eyes, the golden light of absolute rationality flowed ever more profoundly.

"A Class I protected animal?"

Lu Jingyan snorted coldly, a contemptuous sneer playing on his lips.

"Do you have some logical misunderstanding about the word 'protection'?"

Just as the tiger's claw was less than ten centimeters from Lu Jingyan's throat, Lu Jingyan moved.

Instead of retreating, he took half a step forward, his right hand flashing out like lightning, precisely grabbing the incredibly thick fur on the fat man's neck.

"boom--!"

An overwhelming, absolute pressure belonging to the rule of law exploded from Lu Jingyan's palm.

The massive body of the fat man, weighing three tons and enhanced by spiritual energy, felt as light as a house cat in Lu Jingyan's hands.

Lu Jingyan slung his arms around his shoulders, his military tactical boots firmly embedded in the asphalt.

A standard, textbook over-the-shoulder throw!

"Bang!!!"

A deafening roar echoed along the elevated ring road.

The entire viaduct seemed to tremble.

The once arrogant "Tiger King" was slammed down onto the scorching metal floor by Lu Jingyan's powerful physical punishment.

The layer of azure spiritual energy that it was so proud of on its body instantly dissipated under the impact of the code's pressure.

"Awooo—!"

Big Fatty let out a miserable wail, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to be shattered by the fall.

It struggled to lift its head, but Lu Jingyan pressed its head down firmly with one hand, rendering it unable to move.

"Listen up, little kitty."

Lu Jingyan squatted down, pressing his knee against Da Pang's spine, his tone as cold as unyielding ice.

"The protection of first-class protected animals is to protect your species and prevent you from becoming extinct on Earth."

"It doesn't protect your criminal behavior!"

Lu Jingyan flipped open the little blue booklet with one hand, almost pressing it against the fat man's terrified tiger eyes.

"Before the Criminal Law, all people are equal. Whether you have hair or not, as long as you have the intention to harm others, you must accept the physical subjugation by law enforcement."

"Before the law, neither tigers nor humans have special privileges."

At this moment, Zhao Tiezhu had already led dozens of fully armed riot police officers to rush up.

Each of them was carrying an exaggeratedly designed high-voltage electric fork.

Electromagnetic light danced on the fork tip, emitting terrifying "crackling" sounds.

"Boss, did that tiger cub bite you?"

Zhao Tiezhu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking at the ferocious beast that Lu Jingyan had subdued with one hand with lingering fear.

"My goodness! This is bigger than any water buffalo I've ever seen back home!"

"It didn't bite. Its current intelligence level is still in the 'delusional arrogance caused by sudden gain of power' stage."

Lu Jingyan released his grip and strode backward.

"Tiezhu, use technology to wake it up."

"Okay!"

Zhao Tiezhu grinned and suddenly waved his hand.

The dozen or so special police officers understood immediately and surrounded the enemy in a circle.

The dozen or so high-voltage electric forks slammed into the fat man's thick fur in unison.

"Sizzle—sizzle!!!"

A blue, high-voltage current instantly pierced through the entire body of the fat man.

Big Fatty let out a scream that went off in a different tone, and all the golden tiger fur on his body stood up, making him look like a giant orange cat with its fur standing on end.

Its once bright and intelligent eyes began to roll back in their head.

"Stop! Stop! I...I will stop eating people! I surrender! I request humanitarian treatment!"

The fat man was convulsing and shouting on the ground, and white foam was even coming out of his mouth.

It finally realized that even if it could speak human language and had strength, in front of this man with a gun and an electric fork, it was still just a "problematic creature" that could be physically exterminated at any time.

"Turn yourself in? Too late."

Lu Jingyan coldly stepped forward and pulled out a pair of specially made steel handcuffs from behind his tactical belt.

These handcuffs are three times larger than ordinary ones; he had the equipment department modify them overnight using hydraulic shears.

He lifted up Big Fatty's right front paw, which was as big as a millstone, and tried it out.

With a "click," the handcuffs were barely fastened, but the handcuffs felt tight due to the tiger's claws swelling with blood.

"Boss, these claws are too thick, don't let the handcuffs break again."

Zhao Tiezhu squatted down beside him and reached out to pinch the fat tiger's paw.

"This meat, hey, it's really firm."

Big Fatty shuddered again, startled by Zhao Tiezhu's professional "butcher's gaze".

"Officer Lu! I am protected by law! You cannot mistreat prisoners!"

Lu Jingyan looked at the remaining half of the chain in his hand, and then at the two-meter-long tail of the fat man, which was thrashing about in fear.

His eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.

"Stop yelling. If the claws aren't suitable, let's find another spot."

Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd.

Lu Jingyan skillfully grabbed the fat man's thick tail, then twisted it behind his back, connecting the base of the tail to the huge steel handcuffs.

"Click!"

The crisp sound of a metal lock closing rang out again.

The big fat tiger froze completely.

It was not only pinned to the ground, but its current posture is also humiliating.

Its two hind legs were locked with electric forks, and its tail, which represented dignity, was used by Lu Jingyan as a chain and handcuffed directly to its own rear end.

"Alright, take him away."

Lu Jingyan dusted off his hands and turned to look at the ambulance in the distance.

"Notify forensic doctor Qin that the tiger's brain may be experiencing logical confusion due to an overload of spiritual energy."

"Take it back to the station and put it in a special cage. First, give it two injections of a stronger sedative."

Big Fatty lay on the ground, his eyes filled with tears as he watched Lu Jingyan's retreating figure.

It felt its tiger life was completely ruined.

If this image of its tail being handcuffed by humans were sent back to the zoo, how would it ever be able to survive in the predator enclosure again?

"Boss, what about those two boxes of sausages?" Zhao Tiezhu asked, pointing to the back of the electric scooter.

Lu Jingyan got into the black SUV without looking back.

"As illegal proceeds, they will be confiscated, registered, and returned to their rightful owner."

"Also, investigate the losses suffered by that gas station and compile a list of compensations for this 'Tiger King'."

"If we can't afford to pay it back, let it work as a sewing machine in prison to settle the debt."

Zhao Tiezhu slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Alright! I'll go prepare two extra-large industrial sewing machines right away!"

With sirens blaring, the heavily armored escort vehicle slowly drove away from the scene.

Lu Jingyan was sitting in the driver's seat, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when Su Xiaoxiao's urgent voice, slightly tearful, came through the walkie-talkie again.

"Captain Lu... Captain Lu! You'd better come back to the station quickly!"

"Just now, when you were catching the tiger, a woman barged into our bureau's lobby!"

"She claims to be the heir of the 'Qingqiu Fox Clan,' and she's wagging her tail like crazy at our Director Chen!"
